Best Historical Album: Adam Scott wins Masters

Adam Scott's playoff victory over Angel Cabrera at the Masters not only got the major monkey off his back, but it put a green jacket on the back of an entire continent. After so many close calls, Adam Scott delivered in the clutch, and Australia now boasts a Masters champion. (Getty)

Best Rock Performance: Matt Jones, PGA Championship

In the third round of the PGA Championship at Oak Hill, Matt Jones stepped to the par-3 11th hole, and sprayed one way right, missing the to the right of the creek that was guarding the green. Lucky for him, his ball careened off some rocks, making a sharp (almost 90 degree) turn, landed on the green and proceeded to roll within a few feet of the hole. Check out the shot <a href= http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v30hG-T3_aY/#' target='_blank'>here</a>. (Getty)

Best Pop Rock Duo Performance: DJ and Paulina

Dustin Johnson and Paulina Gretzky became golf's 'it' couple in 2013, being photographed on and off the golf course seemingly everywhere together as they traveled the globe. Johnson popped the question in August with a huge rock ... and she said yes! And the two have lived happily ever after since then.

Best Country Solo Performance: Boo Weekley

Boo Weekley could win Best Country Solo Performance for you know ... being Boo Weekley. But he ended a five-year drought from the winner's circle with a victory at this past year's Crowne Plaza Invitational. Also, if you're having trouble seeing him in this picture, that was his intent.

Best Remix: U.S. Open at Merion

The buzz was palpable as the season turned to the U.S. Open in June at Merion, which hadn't hosted a Open since 1981. While there were some logistical issues at the small venue, the national historic landmark famous for its wicker baskets produced a thrilling finish, with Justin Rose topping Phil Mickelson to claim his first major on Father's Day.

Best Wrap Performance: Jimmy Walker

Winless in his first 187 starts on Tour, Jimmy Walker has made the most of the new wraparound schedule winning twice in six weeks early in the 2013-'14 season. Walker outlasted Vijay Singh at the season opening Frys.com Open in October, and then followed it up with a win at the Sony Open in January. (Getty)

Best New Artist: Jordan Spieth

While there's plenty of young talent on the men's and women's tours, what rookie Jordan Spieth did this year was stuff of legend. He became the first teen to win a Tour event in more than 80 years, racked up three runners-up, six other top 10s and nearly $4 million in earnings. He also became the first player since Tiger Woods to begin the year with no status and reach the Tour Championship (where he tied for second), and earned a spot on the U.S. Presidents Cup team.

Best Country Duo: The Dufners

The Auburn residing newlyweds (and their little dog) are a hit on social media, but it was their recent trip to Hawaii that sewed up. While Amanda looks fairly comfortable in the rainforest, Jason summed it up best when he said, 'Generally speaking, I don’t do much hiking.' Check out the entire video of the award-winning couple in action <a href= http://www.golfchannel.com/news/golftalkcentral/video-dufners-go-hiking-hawaiian-rainforest/#' target='_blank'>here</a>.

Producer of the Year, Non-Classical: Phil Mickelson

Some of his wins might be considered instant-classics, but there's nothing traditionally classic about the way Phil Mickelson plays, and we wouldn't have it any other way. After blowing a final-round lead at the U.S. Open and finishing runner-up for a record sixth time, Lefty rebounded at the British Open to claim the third leg of the career grand slam with a Sunday 66, the one major he never thought he would win.

Best New Age Performance: Lydia Ko

The new wave of young talent has arrived, and the most promising of the bunch may be a 16-year-old who competed as an amateur until this past October. After winning four times as an amateur, Lydia Ko successfully petitioned the LPGA to waive their age requirement and she won her first event as a pro at the Swinging Skirts World Ladies Masters in December.

Best Ensemble Performance: Sergio and Katharina

Sergio Garcia's year was filled with controversy and turmoil, but at least it ended on a positive note. He put his new girlfriend Katharina Boehm on the bag in Thailand and promptly won. Maybe they will celebrate this win with a kiss as well. (Getty)

Best Dance Recording: Mickelson and McIlroy

Two of golf's biggest names, Phil and Rory, appeared on stage prior to the start of the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship, and did a little dance number with the locals that included club twirling and swaying from side to side. Check out the duo's little number <a href= http://www.golfchannel.com/news/grill-room/video-phil-rory-dance-stage-abu-dhabi/#' target='_blank'>here.</a> Your move Golf Boys. (Getty)

Best Pop Solo Performance: Background Interview Guy

While players were being interviewed after their rounds at the Hyundai Tournament of Champions, something way more interesting was happening just a few feet behind them (or possibly even closer). We're not sure who this guy is, but he managed to pop up in just about ever single interview throughout the week, and the man could not be happier. So, you smiling, hairless man, please enjoy this award as much as you did that awkward face time.

Best Comedy Album: Jason Dufner

Whether he's putting rocks in Keegan Bradley's bag, 'celebrating' a major championship with his wife or Dufnering, Jason Dufner can't help but put a smile on everyone's face, even if he can't put one on his own. We're sure he's very excited about this prestigious honor. (Getty)

Record of the Year: 59

While there were a few 59s fired on the Web.com circuit this year, it seemed certain we would see another season come and go without a sighting of golf's magic number on the PGA Tour. That is, until Jim Furyk took us on a magical ride in the second round of the BMW Championship to shoot the sixth 59 in Tour history. (Getty)
